Effect of a Winter Cereal or Legume Crop on the Yield and Nutrient Uptake by Summer Maize/Cowpea Fodder

M. George, Rajendra Prasad

Abstract

Abstract A field experiment conducted at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi brought out that summer maize green fodder yield was 31.8 t/ha to 34.1 t/ha, while that of cowpea fodder was only 15.5 to 16 t/ ha. Maize fodder and crude protein yield and NPK uptake was more after a winter legume (lentil) than after a winter cereal (wheat).
